NCFM fax to US Representatives and Senators encourages them to seriously reform VAWA…or dump it

Here’s a sampling of how men are protected from domestic and sexual violence through VAWA:

MEN ARE

denied basic due process

denied a presumption of innocence

denied equal treatment under the law

denied the right to a fair trial

denied the right to confront accusers

denied the right keep fire arms

denied the right to testify on their own behalf

denied the right to present certain evidence

denied security clearances often causing loss of employment

denied representation in related civil (family court) actions

denied standing in immigrant applications alleging violence

denied their children

denied welfare and healthcare benefits

denied their personal and real property

denied careers in the military or law enforcement

denied other benefits associated with a military career

denied entrance into professional fields

THROUGH VAWA MEN ARE BASICALLY DISENFRANCHISED, IMPOVERISHED,

AND OFTEN DRIVEN TO MURDER AND SUICIDE

VAWA is unprecedented, unnecessary and dangerous.

If you care about the people you represent, care about your love ones, your neighbors, friends, associates, now and for generations to come, you must not allow VAWA to be reauthorized without serious and substantial reforms which help rather than destroy people. Help not just some of us, but all of us.

VAWA should no longer be allowed to fund efforts which have little or nothing to do with protecting anyone, but have much or everything to do with promoting harmful sex based stereotypes and political ideologies.

1. Re Title IX, 1972 Education Amendments Act, to what extent do VAWA-funded federal agencies or any of their grantees practice discrimination regarding education, on any basis, including but not limited to sex?

2. Re US Constitution, Amendment I, how does the 19-year total body of VAWA case law, in all jurisdictions, represent these protections against abridgement of religious, speech, assembly, press, and petition-for-redress freedoms?

3. Re Amendment II, what are the legal doctrines and precedent rulings that guide the removal of and restriction from firearms, in cases involving a VAWA-related charge?

4. Re Amndt IV, how is “reasonable” defined in VAWA cases, regarding what is or is not reasonable search and seizure?

5. Re Amndt V, to what extent have VAWA defendants been compelled to self-incriminate, or in other respects be denied equal protection of the Law?

6. Re Amndt VI, to what extent have the rights to trial, jury, defense, witness confrontation, counsel and impartiality been upheld by VAWA-influenced law enforcement, prosecutorial and adjudicative practices, and to what extent not?

7. Re Amndt X, to what extent are federal/State laws and procedures under VAWA acting from within a Constitutional framework, and to what extent not?

8. Re Amndt XIV, sections 1,2,3,4&5, to what extent are the multiple provisions in this Act of Congress applied Constitutionally, and to what extent not?

9. To what extent are all US government programs, agencies, grantees, contractors, sub-contractors, and their employees and interns associated with VAWA, in compliance with multiple federal and state anti-lobbying statutes, and to what extent not?

10. Re question 9 this inquiry, to what extent does the Citizens United v Federal Election Commission decision by the US Supreme Court affect these activities?

I have endured the loss of almost EVERY ONE of these RIGHTS! I have started making plans to actually visit Washington DC—cause—it is the RIGHT thing to do-actually the only thing — I should have listened to George Gilead of St. Paul, MN. when he told me 7 years ago that it was hopeless and beyond my comprehension to the depths that the authorities would go. Every one!!!!!

Absolutely. I have been falsely accused by my former wife but didn’t make an issue when she hit me often. We are waiting for equal treatment under the law as supposed to be guaranteed by the Constitution.
